Given extremely recent events, as a controller I would be far more nervous about locating my company in hostile states (regardless of ideological bent) that actively persecute companies for culture war nonsense, fabricated claims of censorship, books that the government thinks people should not be allowed to read, requiring drivers license storage for adult content viewing, abortion criminalization (have fun fighting those John Doe subpoenas!), "save the kids from addiction" laws enforced by arbitrary interest group censors, etc. Tech companies are foolish if they think they're going to be harassed more by quiet, stable, corporate tax shelter Delaware than the Yosemite Sams that run Texas. They're practically drowning in the evidence already.

The compensation and personal liability for leadership is more expensive to their bottom line vs cultural war shaming, etc. (Which most companies have likely never cared about to begin with)

>> books that the government thinks people should not be allowed to read Do you have any examples of this? Which books would I not be allowed to walk into a bookstore and buy, or order off of Amazon, and in which states?

    >> You're looking in the wrong places. "You're holding it wrong". I have a question. It's an honest question. I really am curious about this. The question is "Which books would I not be allowed to walk into a bookstore and buy, or order off of Amazon, and in which states?". Do you have an answer to that question? Please don't go all Stack Overflow on me and tell me I'm asking the wrong question, OK?
